Month of Thanks: Day 6

Today I am thankful for our living situation. When we first moved to Charlotte, we had to find a place to live rather quickly as Jeremy was to start his job in 2 weeks. After looking around with a realtor for a place to rent, we settled on a townhouse not far from Jeremy's work. We were there for only a few short weeks before we realized it wasn't in the greatest part of town.  Sadly we were stuck in a year lease so we made it work.

As our lease was running out, my friend Brigetta bought a house and her current house was going up again for rent.  Her current house was owned by her in-laws and they wanted to have tenants again.  We made started talking to them through email and made a visit over to the house.  After our visit, we quickly said we would take it.  The rent is cheaper, the area is super nice, it's close to our friends, and our landlords are an awesome Christian couple.  We love that we have the joys of living in a home, but not have to do all the upkeep. :)

We are also thankful how the Lord provided the opportunity to move to Charlotte.  Jeremy and I realized while  living in Nashville that we aren't cut out for small town living. We love all the things a bigger town has to offer. We love the friends we have here, Jeremy enjoys his job, and we just feel like this place is a great fit for us.
